Student Spotlight

“The thing I have enjoyed most about the U of R is the diverse amount of positive people I have interacted with. Meeting someone who is from a different part of the country or the world from me, opens up my eyes to new perspectives and ideas. The willingness of everyone to accept and listen to what is being said is not found everywhere.”
